Expertise in the project field:
Environmental impact assessment & data analysis - In TRANSECOTECH project I was involved in crucible optimization in microwave field heating at 1300°C together with designing of microwave assisted melting furnace. Another part of this project was focused on designing high temperature gas filter, where I worked on the design and I supervised its manufacture.
In this domain I was involved in simulation of every piece of equipment equipped with microwaves that was developed for different applications such as: polymer synthesis, thermal washing of glass waste, smelting of non-ferrous metal waste, and obtaining metal powder from aluminum waste, treatment of electrical and electronic waste. International visibility:
• Awards:
(Within the TRANSECOTECH project financed from structural funds, unconventional technologies for the recovery of metals from electrical and electronic waste were developed, the activity being rewarded with gold medal in the “Traian Vuia” International Exhibition of Inventions and Innovations, Timisoara, Romania, 2020).
Research Projects (EU funded):
Expert in environmental impact assessment, carbon footprint, ERA-MIN 2021, Thermal Processing of P-rich ashes aiming for HIGH-GRADE PHOSPHORUS Products (PHIGO), (2022-2024)
Expert in environmental impact assessment and carbon footprint: ERA-MIN 2018 DEASPHOR “Design of a product for SUBSTITUTION of phosphate rocks” (2022).
Expert in developing of the microwave assisted solvolysis process, themal-electrical field simulation, and process heat transfer in RASCERT project.
Expert in all stages of developing of an anthracen oil polymerization reactor and a high temperature treatment pitch, both equipments being microwave assisted (SUPERCOAL - RFCR-CT-2015-00006). Involved in elaboration of associated patents for each project in which I was involved.
